American comics: Starting with gaining Spider-Man's abilities

Chapter 164 Sending Star-Lord Away, the Fight Begins

She blinked and shut down the system. Li Buying gestured to Ganata not to open the hatch, but instead used phase teleportation to appear outside. She then shot towards the massive planet Ego, her speed increasing as gravity intensified.

Just to be on the safe side, he took the Ark in his hand and used his gravity sense to scan the entire planet. Ego, who was talking to Star-Lord, seemed to sense something and looked up at the roof, his gaze instantly piercing through it to look straight at the sky.

Unfortunately, he saw nothing, so he continued talking to Star-Lord. At this point, Star-Lord frowned and said, "You said you loved my mother, so why did you choose to leave her?"

"I love him."

Igor sighed and nodded, first telling her how much he loved her, then uttering some of the most wrong truths of his life: "I really loved her, and it broke my heart when she got a brain tumor."

Star-Lord, who had initially felt a certain affinity for Ego, suddenly regained his senses. The starry sky in his eyes returned to human eyes, and he looked at his father in disbelief.

What did he just say?

It broke my heart when she was diagnosed with a brain tumor...

It was absolutely devastating when she was diagnosed with a brain tumor...

She developed a brain tumor...

A surge of rage rose in Peter Quill's chest. He realized that the creature before him was not as friendly as it appeared, and most importantly—it had killed his mother!

Star-Lord immediately raised his gun, aimed at the so-called father in front of him, and fired repeatedly. The energy beams shattered his body, but this was just Ego's avatar. When the beams penetrated, the wounds appeared as pale blue energy bodies and were rapidly healing.

"...Who do you think you are? What do you think you're doing?"

Igor's face changed from that of a kind old man to that of a dark-haired man with redder skin, and then back to that of an old man, with murderous intent appearing in his eyes.

"You killed my mother!"

Peter Quill roared, his eyes filled with resentment and sorrow. But how could a living planet that doesn't understand human nature comprehend such things? With a mere thought, an energy tentacle instantly erupted from the ground and stabbed at Star-Lord from behind, who was caught off guard.

Just as he was about to be hit like in the movies, a very special gravitational force pulled him away. Sensing this, Ego looked up again, his mental perception covering an area, and finally found the hidden uninvited guest.

Li Buying, unconcerned about being seen, simply raised his hand, causing Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon descending from the sky in his spaceship, Groot and Yondu, and Gamora, who was running towards him, to instantly converge in his direction.

Seeing its son taken away, the planet itself stretched out countless enormous energy tentacles that swept towards the group, intending to kill them all and leave only Star-Lord, whom it needed.

However, an invisible barrier blocked all his attacks, and the tentacles that tried to intercept him were crushed by an unknown force.

With Li Buying's help, the Guardians of the Galaxy were finally able to regroup. The spaceship hatch immediately opened, and Li Buying threw everyone outside inside.

"Enough with the nonsense, you guys go first, I'll cover you from here."

A penetrating sound reached everyone's ears. Star-Lord looked out the window at the person who had suddenly appeared and helped him, only to see a black hole spinning on Li Buying's face.

Rocket Raccoon loudly announced through the spaceship's megaphone that there was still one problem to deal with: "Hey, the Sovereign ships are chasing us outside, can you help us to the very end?!"

His gravity perception extended again, and he saw the Sovereign ships emerging from the space node. Once they were all out, he simply raised his hand and pulled them forcefully.

The sudden increase in gravity caused all the spaceships to fall, crashing into the living planet Ego like meteorites. To everyone's astonishment, they slammed into the ground, creating an incredibly violent explosion.

The Ark emitted a dazzling light, and Star-Lord's ship immediately took off and flew away from Earth, but a deafening roar came from behind.

"No, you can't leave!"

The entire planet began to shake violently, and countless tentacles lashed at the spaceship like whips, but were all blocked. Star-Lord gave the planet outside the window the middle finger, and with Li Buying's help, the spaceship quickly passed through the atmosphere and came outside.

Upon seeing the enormous planet again, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and exclaim, "What the hell is that?!"

The planet was no longer as peaceful and beautiful as before. The entire planet took on the shape of a face, and its gaze was fixed on Star-Lord without ever letting go. A terrifying scene unfolded as the living planet Ego opened its mouth wide, trying to swallow the entire spaceship whole.

Ganata simply watched the planet undergoing changes from afar, with no intention of getting involved. The energy concentration there was simply too high, and if she went there now, her appetite would probably increase again. Unless Li Buying sent her a message to help, she would definitely not go there.

……

The scene before Li Buying was even more magnificent. The original forest vegetation had all collapsed and turned into something like flesh and blood. The ground seemed to come alive, dragging all the crashed spaceships into it.

A "gaze," or rather, a spiritual perception, was constantly focused on Li Buying. The immense pressure from the planet relentlessly pounded against his protective shield, yet the triple energy shield held Li Buying firmly, showing no sign of breaking.

"Who are you!?"

Ego's avatar appeared before him. The old man stared wide-eyed, filled with resentment. Li Buying, who had been observing the situation, knew that Ego was merely trying to buy time so that he could swallow the spaceship carrying Star-Lord.

Li Buying naturally wouldn't give him that chance. He closed his eyes and activated his full senses. As he began to absorb the energy of the Ark, an invisible gravitational force quickly appeared between Ego and Star-Lord's spaceship.

The giant maw was about to swallow the spaceship whole, and Star-Lord and the others were contorted with rage and swearing, but what they saw next was quite hilarious—

The entire large face looked like it had bumped into something; the spherical shape of the planet flattened, like a rubber ball hitting glass.

Is this all I've given it my all? No, it's not just that.

When Li Buying reopened her eyes, her dark pupils became deep. She grasped the Ark of the Sacred Relic with both hands, allowing her senses to penetrate and feel the force field fluctuations of the entire living planet. Her brain quickly analyzed these gravitational waves, searching for their weaknesses.

He wanted to do what he did to Doomsday: target the weak points and then instantly destroy the entire Ego.

If he were to simply use his strength to send bricks flying and suppress the entire living planet, he certainly wouldn't be able to kill it instantly. But by adding a little "skill" to that, he could, just like how he uses gravity to expand the striking surface of his fist.
